Public bug reported: Binary package hint: curl
Some HTTPS urls cause curl to fail with an "illegal parameter" error. This error goes away if you manually specify "--sslv3" e.g. $ curl --version curl 7.19.7 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.19.7 OpenSSL/0.9.8k zlib/1.2.3.3 libidn/1.15 Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict ldap ldaps http file https ftps Features: GSS-Negotiate IDN IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz $ curl https://www.orange.sk/ curl: (35) error:14077417:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert illegal parameter $ curl --sslv3 https://www.orange.sk/ <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="sk" lang="sk"> ...etc This is particularly problematic if using an application which uses libcurl, but does not allow setting of the --sslv3 flag, e.g. nagios's check_http utility. This redhat bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=525496 appears to describe the same problem, and has a patch ** Affects: curl (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Curl fails to open some https URLs with "illegal parameter" error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/595415 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
